Many scholars agree that we are currently living in post-ideological times, and that the role of religion and social ideology has become increasingly limited as a means to organise society. Some even talk of a 'post-truth' era, as truth itself has become suspect, and public debate has become infected with terms such as 'fake news' and 'alternative truths.' In fact, in many scientific areas the notions of truth, objectivity and fact are being questioned,...

So let me detach myself from my human roots to take stock of what we have accomplished together. For millennia, we have been a team. Together, our knowledge has accumulated, making us universally privileged with an awareness that we are gods in the natural world.

Concepts of good and evil are highly susceptible to interpretation, with ethics preferably set aside so as not to unduly encroach on our daily pleasures. One of the most ill-considered, unpopular, yet underrated aspects of Western society is the diminishing role of conscience. Though conscience belongs to the mechanisms governing our behaviour, its importance should not be underestimated....

On the contrary, to rise above, we must regulate our emotions, ideations, and penchants, eschewing any claim to divinity without descending to an animal state. For no god has ever struggled or exerted effort to attain and retain godhood, nor has...
